An urban adventure to discover Venice, the city of canals, secrets and masks, following the traces of one of its most fascinating figures: Giacomo Casanova.

Giacomo Casanova

Born in Venice in 1725, Casanova has gone down in history as the seducer par excellence, but his life was far more complex and surprising. A man of great intelligence and curiosity, he devoted himself to study, science and the arts, moving through the most refined salons of Europe and weaving relationships with nobles, intellectuals and prelates.

His free spirit, his wit and his audacity made him a troubling figure in the eyes of power. In 1755 he was arrested and locked up in the Piombi, one of the most feared prisons of the Serenissima, accused of immoral conduct and suspicious practices. From there, he carried out one of the most incredible escapes in history, becoming a legend.

The experience

The experience offers three distinct narrative routes, designed to not overlap and to give wide freedom of choice in terms of duration and urban area to explore. Each itinerary tells a different side of Venice and of Casanova, letting you live the adventure at your own pace and interest.

The journey leads through quiet alleys, palaces overlooking the water, intrigue, passions and hidden secrets. The routes cross iconic landmarks such as the Rialto Market, St. Mark's Square, the Bridge of Sighs and the Doge's Palace, but also include lesser-known corners of the city where elegance and mystery weave far from the beaten paths.

A weave of observation, intuition and discovery that turns Venice into a living story, to be decoded step by step.
